Preschool in Anchorage, AK
Serving Elmendorf AFB, Fort Richardson, and Surrounding Communities
High-Quality Early Education for Every Child
At Northern Lights Preschool & Child Care, we understand that selecting the right preschool is an important decision. Our Anchorage preschool serves children throughout the region, including military families at Elmendorf AFB and Fort Richardson. We provide a structured yet engaging environment where children build foundational skills through creative, hands-on learning.
Our program includes age-appropriate curriculum featuring music and movement, outdoor play, arts and crafts, collaborative centers, and guided mini-lessons in early numeracy, color recognition, and literacy. All instruction is led by certified early childhood educators committed to creating a joyful, safe, and developmentally supportive learning experience.
Personalized Learning in a Nurturing Setting
No two children learn exactly the same way. That’s why our preschool curriculum is flexible and responsive to each child’s strengths, interests, and developmental needs. Through interactive storytelling, sensory-based projects, and imaginative play, we cultivate curiosity, creativity, and resilience.
Our educators—many with over 25 years of experience—are trained to guide your child’s learning while encouraging independent thinking and collaboration. Whether they’re crafting a mosaic of color, building in a play center, or learning to share and listen during circle time, your child will thrive in a supportive and engaging environment.
Pre-K Readiness and Social-Emotional Growth
Our pre-kindergarten program prepares children for a smooth and successful transition into a formal school environment. We focus not only on early academic concepts, but also on vital social-emotional competencies—such as cooperation, empathy, self-expression, and problem-solving.
All of our educators are fully licensed and trained in evidence-based early education strategies. Many hold Child Development Associate (CDA) and Childcare Professional Accreditation (CPA) certifications. From daily group routines to one-on-one enrichment, your child will gain confidence, skills, and a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
